She has been stripped
Humiliated and beaten
All she possesses has been forcibly taken
Violated and shamed
How could this happen?
Those who know better have turned their faces away
Humiliated and beaten
All she possesses has been forcibly taken
Violated and shamed
How could this happen?
Those who know better have turned their faces away
Or worse have joined in the madness
The gang rape of a nation.
It started from the time she was born
She stood no chance
Wave after wave after wave
The onslaught has been relentless
Each generation proclaiming themselves her saviour
The onslaught has been relentless
Each generation proclaiming themselves her saviour
But each time each it has always been a failure
Her so called rescuers
Having seen her beauty
Allow the allure of her splendor and richness to seize them
With that madness the onslaught begins again.
The striping of her body and soul
The gang rape of a nation
When she was born her people were filled with joy
They all marveled at how regal and majestic she was.
A sight to behold, they were proud and ecstatic
But now this same beauty is seen as a curse
But now this same beauty is seen as a curse
For no matter the intent of her rescuer
This soon changes and savagery takes over
She cries out but no-one seems to care
Young and old alike in their pursuit of her
Take leave of their senses and brutalise her
The gang rape of a nation.
There she is broken and bent
Her mother looking on powerless
As she struggles helpless
From the birth of the nation till now
The gang rape has never abated
When is this madness going to end?
Mothers where are you? Have you no voice?
Fathers where are you? Can you not protect?
How long is this to continue?
Will she survive this continuous violation
As she struggles helpless
From the birth of the nation till now
The gang rape has never abated
When is this madness going to end?
Mothers where are you? Have you no voice?
Fathers where are you? Can you not protect?
How long is this to continue?
Will she survive this continuous violation
The gang rape of a nation.

ReplyDeleteVivid description of state of our nation! Some people are gifted with an awesome imagination. KC
ReplyDeleteTrue but things cannot continue like this forever; sometime, somewhere, somehow, something will give way and then the 'strippers' themselves would be 'stripped' of their loot.
